Having a bad day, bro? You usually seem more upbeat than this.

You're a smart woman. Message Boards are generally an awful place for relatives of players, or players themselves.

Peace

You have to understand though that as fans, we have little emotional attachment to players that don't produce well. We react to results.

Quite frankly, Gaines may find better success elsewhere in a scheme that doesn't require so much single man coverage. There was a point in which i felt bad for the guy, because it was apparent that the game plan for teams going in was to pick on him.

No one should be humiliated on national television, and it got so bad that there must've been hundreds if thousands of people cursing his name. That would suck for anyone. Best of luck to you and yours wherever Gaines lands next.

This and this and this. My father at one point gained some national prominence/notoriety and I had to read message boards saying people hoped he died. The internet is a cold and dark place, and AllIn (Susan), I would recommend leaving CP and not returning for your own sanity.

Fans watch sports with a sense of detachment from the reality of the players being people. I think most of us who rip on players aren't really going after them as people, and only mean it in the sports universe.

Hell, even players do the same to each other on the field of play. Players do it to officials, both pro and amateur. Perhaps even Gaines has done it in his lifetime. As it has been mentioned, it's probably best for family to not be on a board like this. While most of us would deep down wish Gaines well as a person, it's not going to be easy to see passed that reading our opinion of how he played.

Being poor at your job doesn't make you a bad person. Official, player, coach, teacher, cashier, ect.

I kinda lost a little respect for George. Not cool, it’s just a game bro.

Remember you’re the ****ing idiot who continues to be a fan. Blame yourself douchebag. Oh and also, you really sound like a jealous ****.

Dude was a shit draft pick. There were way better CBs on the board when we took that PoS; EJ Gaines for example.

Phillip Gaines had good ball skills and looked on track to be a solid starter and it seems like things unraveled when he tore his ACL.

I had the same gut feeling the 'ol vet will make a big play as well.

Yes, but less is actually more in this case when you are talking Gaines. I'm just so glad it wasn't a hangnail that IR'd him.:rolleyes:

Guy is simply soft and plays like Burntee of the past.

I doubt he'll ever be a pick machine, but the coverage ability is definitely there

If he’d just learn to look for the ball he wouldn’t get near as many flags. He’s athletic as hell. Still, I never like to see injuries....

His first few years had begun to impress even his most vocal current detractors

Injuries kept derailing him, and yet he just kept coming back... but I'm not sure he was 100% early on this year, didn't look like himself at all

He looked back against Denver IMO, totally mirroring his guy... then ****ed up his elbow going hard for the arm tackle

The NFL is hard knock life, if it isn't KC... some other team will covet how sticky he can be

We can't have a playoff game snatched from us by the zebras because a second string DB couldn't learn to turn his head around on an end zone fade pattern. 23 had a target on his back every time he stepped on the field. Ask William Bartee what happens to an NFL corner who can't learn to turn around and defend a pass. They wind up an Ex-NFL corner in a big hurry. I'm sure he'll have a lucrative career in Cleveland or Chicago or somewhere like that where losing is endemic. Can't have it here. Just can't have it.

Relax George.

It’s sometimes easy to forget these kids are someone’s sons, brothers, cousins, etc.

It’s only a game. No one has forced you to give so much of your hard earned money to the Chiefs
